Vom Geschmack eines Apfels – Peac Museum, Freiburg

From the Taste of an Apple.
A collection presentation with guests

The starting point of the new exhibition “From the Taste of an Apple – A Collection Presentation with Guests” are the latest works by the American painter Joseph Marioni, which are being presented in Europe for the first time on the occasion of his 80th birthday. The physical palpability of colour and light in his large-scale paintings establish an intimate and sensual relationship between the work and the viewer. “From the Taste of an Apple” relates this to works from the Paul Ege Art Collection that expand the classical concept of the image: How can work, space and body be understood as parts of a comprehensive sensual experience – with the artistic media of video, sculpture and painting over a temporal horizon from the 1960s to today?

Four Honest Outlaws – Sala Ray Marioni Gordon

published by Michael Fried for the Yale University Press
In this strongly argued and characteristically original book, Michael Fried considers the work of four contemporary artists: video artist and photographer Anri Sala, sculptor Charles Ray, painter Joseph Marioni, and video artist and intervener in movies Douglas Gordon.
«Four Honest Outlaws» takes its title from a line in a Bob Dylan song, «To live outside the law you must be honest», meaning in this case that each of the four artists has found his own unsanctioned path to extraordinary accomplishment, in part by defying the ordinary norms and expectations of the contemporary art world.
Michael Fried will moderate a symposium «PAINTING NOW: A discussion taking off from the work of Joseph Marioni»,
The Phillips Collection, Washington, DC (USA), December 10, 2011
